All courses will utilize formative and summative assessments to determine students' competency in or comprehension of the subject. This will be stated in the course syllabus.
In addition to the regularly scheduled assessments for each course, there are three other types of examinations:
Resit Examination
Students must remedy unit unsatisfactory “U” grades by taking a mandatory resit examination in the week following the official end of term. Students should consider this resit examination period when scheduling end-of-term travel.
Completion Examination
Students who receive an approved grade of Incomplete (“I”) for missing an assessment in a course (See “I” grade) must take a Completion Examination within seven (7) days of the original date of the assessment.
- Students will not be able to defer an examination for misreading the examination schedule, accommodating travel plans, or any other reason not considered a severe mitigating circumstance.
- The Course Director will define the format and content of the Completion Examinations and will be comparable in format, length, and course content to the deferred examination.
